Not sure what you are looking for, exactly. There are hundreds of Va blends, some of them containing nothing but Va but most including at least condimental amounts of perique, burley, Kentucky, or orientals.
If you are looking for a list of the best virginias, that's obviously going to be a very subjective topic. Nonetheless, I think it's fair to say that the most popular and sought after Vas are:
Full Virginia Flake
Capstan Blue
Best Brown Flake
Dunhill Flake
Blackwoods Flake
Opening Night
Old Gowrie and Marlin Flake
Plus many many others, including a slew of McClelland bulk blends

Go to tobaccocellar.com and see which blends are most cellared. There is a list just waiting to be read.
I love/cellar Old Gowrie, but it is a VaPerKy blend. My favorite straight Virginia is:
Marble Kake.

I like to add just a little Perique to some of these to bring out the flavor. You would be amazed at what a little Perique can do.
That being said, all the above are outstanding on their own.
